I completely forgot we were going out of town for a few days last week… so quite a bit of our menu plan is going to be carried over from last week. I’m again using the freezer and pantry to pull together these meals. For the main meals I only have a few things I need to get at the store. It looks like we’re in for another cold snap this week. While I hate the cold weather it does make soup a wonderful meal… so we’ve got some soup on the menu this week. That’s the only thing I’ll really miss about winter… soup. mmm
Ham and Bean soup
Sausage Soup (from last week)
Sausage Casserole (from last week)
Breakfast Eggs, toast and Sausage balls
Baked Fish
noodle sidedish
peas and carrots
Mexican Chicken
rice
green beans
I’m sure the soups will provide at least one day of leftovers, and lunches.
I was reading this post of Crazy Mom’s and I was absolutely astounded by the amount she got from the store, and how little she paid. Especially with 10 bags of dog food in her cart. Heck, 1 bag of dog food is almost what she paid for the whole thing!! Do you use coupons, and stock pile or do you still do weekly shopping? I don’t have any storage space, so it makes me wonder if the whole stock piling thing is possible for me. I’ll be over at Crazy Mom’s site reading more today I’m sure, because I hate paying out the nose for dog food!!
Anyway… there’s our menu for this week. If you need more ideas for your menu this post is hooked up with Menu Plan Monday over at orgjunkie.com ~ there’s tons and tons of great moms sharing their menu plans ~ you’re sure to find something that looks yummy!
